    Caroline Bird College

    The true definition of the term 'naysayer' is a person who habitually expresses negative or pessimistic views. This is the way that Caroline Bird looks at college in her essay titled "College is Waste of Time and Money". In this article Bird is very strong willed when stating her opinion about college. She tells her readers that the real reason young adults go to college is because "College is a pleasant place to be; because it's the only way they can get parents or taxpayers to support them without working at a job they don't like; because mother wanted them to go, or some other reason entirely irrelevant to the course of studies for which college is supposedly organized" (247). Bird explains to her readers in a very pessimistic way that going to college to get an education has become very uncommon.…

    Does an HBCU offer an African American student more than a PWI? An HBCU, “is a Historically Black College or University, that was founded by our ancestors to educate us on our history as African-American descents.” Before HBCUs were a thing, African Americans were free slaves that were not allowed to get an education. This did not stop them from learning a way to read, write, and calculate math. The Philadelphia Quakers founded the Institute of Colored Youth, so the children will have the opportunity to get an education.…

    St. John's College

    The starting points of Fordham University can be followed to 1839 when John Hughes, the Bishop of New York, purchased 100 sections of land at Rose Hill in the Fordham area of what was then Westchester County for $29,750. Notwithstanding, he said, "I had not, when I bought the site of this new college...so much as a penny to begin the installment for it." After a nine-month crusade the most cash he could raise privately was $10,000, thus he went to Europe on an asking trek to get the assets that he couldn't raise at home. The budgetary troubles that John Hughes confronted in beginning St. John's College are characteristic of the destitution of the New York Catholic group in 1841.…

    Honestly, I am an undergrad student at MCPHS-Boston, and to tell you the truth, unless you are naturally intelligent, and/or willing to make big sacrifices and go through hard struggles, this college is not for you. I am not telling you this because I am not a hard working, unmotivated, or lazy student, who is angry at the school for receiving bad grades. It is more because I have experienced this school and have found out many things that would have made me not come here in the first place had I known before. The main thing that comes to mind here is that this school is ALL ABOUT YOUR MONEY. Which is why they have such a high acceptance rate.…

    Tcnj Characteristics

    I believe the best way to describe a typical TCNJ student is in one word - talented. Throughout my multiple visits at the college it’s never surprising to find someone on the lawn painting at a level to impress Monet or hear something amazing play coming from the windows of Mayo Hall. Out of all the schools in New Jersey my heart remains set on TCNJ because it’s an institution with a personality. There is a perfect balance of academics and opportunity that many schools are striving to achieve. The rigor of a class at TCNJ is worth every single ounce of effort in high school but even then there is no guarantee of smooth sailing and I am ready for a challenge.…
